Cancer Center Welcomes Dr. Gerald Colvin as Medical Director, Expands Team of Permanent Medical Oncology Providers
South County Health has been recognized as one of only 514 hospitals across the United States to achieve zero catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), based on the most recent Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) data.
The data, compiled in the Healthcare Associated Infections-Hospital database and collected through the CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network, reflects a full year of reporting — from July 2023 through June 2024. These results underscore South County Health’s dedication to infection prevention and the delivery of exceptional care across all settings.
“This achievement is a testament to the expertise of our clinical teams, our infection prevention protocols, and our organization-wide focus on patient safety,” said Sandra Colpitts, RN, Director of Quality and Performance Excellence.
CMS and the CDC calculate standardized infection ratios using a range of factors including hospital size, patient health status, and care location. The measures apply to all patients in acute care hospitals, whether adult, pediatric, neonatal, Medicare or non-Medicare.
South County Health remains committed to continuous improvement in patient care and safety—and this distinction highlights the measurable results of that effort.
